New Special Edition O Gauge 57xx Pannier NCB Green 7754 - 7S-007-DCC1

7754 was built in 1930 by the North British Locomotive Company for the Great Western Railway. Allocated from new to Reading and moving to Old Oak Common in 1936 as station pilot for Paddington Station. Finally allocated to Wellington (Shropshire) in May 1949. 7754 was withdrawn in January 1959 and sold to the National Coal Board in July that year. It worked first at Talywain Colliery in South Wales, sharing the shed with another four tank engines. In 1970, 7754 was transferred to a new colliery at Mountain Ash, It was not popular with the crews there, fitted with a main line firebox and it also played havoc with the lightly laid track. In 1975 a cylinder cover blew off and it was donated to the Museum of Wales and located on the Llangollen railway where it can be seen today in preservation.
